Are products for the treatment of varicose veins available in pharmacies? Underwear for weight loss? All this is advised by a doctor who deals with the health of the veins.
prof. Lukasz Paluch, a phlebologist who maintains the popular @dr.paluch.flebolog Instagram profile, revealed which products he would not buy and recommend as a doctor.
How does the slimming underwear act on the veins?
First of all, the specialist mentioned slimming underwear. For many people, this is an easy way to visually slim the silhouette, mainly in the hips, buttocks and abdomen. What’s wrong with that, because a very depressing one can give really impressive results? The doctor emphasizes that such underwear interferes with proper blood circulation. “I don’t advise you to use slimming underwear, because it has a very negative effect on the outflow of blood from the pelvic area,” he said.
His list also includes pharmaceuticals against varicose veins. In pharmacies, you can buy, for example, tights or stockings against varicose veins. - Their sizes are usually inappropriate, and the compression class is inappropriate. Such products can often harm than help, Lukas Paluch emphasized. For problems with venous insufficiency, it is best to buy this type of product at a pharmacy or medical store, where a specialist will help you choose the right size.
Are jars good for veins?
The phlebologist puts the recently fashionable Chinese bubbles in last place among the non-recommended products. Made of rubber or silicone, they are used to massage different parts of the body. Chinese cupping massage consists of sucking on the skin. Why is the use of Chinese cups bad for veins? “Negative pressure is harmful to the superficial vascular system,” the doctor explained.
If you are struggling with spider veins or have varicose veins on your legs, you should contact a specialist. Venous insufficiency is not only an aesthetic problem, but above all a health problem.
